The Origin of my Nick Love

I received an interesting question / comment from a loyal blog reader earlier today regarding my love for Nick Rhodes. Instead of answering her directly, I thought I'd shout the origin of my love for Nick from the rooftops. Her question, specifically, was why Nick? Everyone already knows that I adore him (including Nick himself), but she wanted to know why. Good question. The answer, of course, is hard to pinpoint. Why did I see his gorgeous face back in 1984 and instantly want to have his children? I guess the simple answer is...I don't know. Because he was my type. I love pretty boys. I mean, look at him on his wedding day (or, as I like to call it, The Day My Heart Stopped Beating) - he's wearing pink velvet. Pink velvet! It doesn't matter that I was barely a teenager at the time, why didn't he wait for me?? Seriously, though, as the years have gone by, I've just been more and more drawn to him. Not just because I love to look at his beautiful face, but because he's intelligent, multi-talented, and a musical genius. Plus, when I did some research on him to make his care package, I discovered we have tons in common - we both love flamingos, Scrabble, and Family Feud. Obviously we were made for each other, so I'm sitting here in California waiting for his call. It's going to happen, I just know it. Any day now. Any day. ;)
